There are so many things to do on a Baltic cruise. Take your time discovering the Winter Palace, which was home to Russia’s czars and now the colossal Hermitage Museum, on a cruise to St. Petersburg. On a cruise to Berlin, walk right through what used to be Checkpoint Charlie, a key symbol of the Cold War. Head west and watch the changing of the guard in front of the Stockholm Palace, an uninterrupted tradition for nearly 500 years. And, from your balcony, feel like a Viking as you behold the staggering fjords sliced deep into Norway’s mountainous western coast. Explore the possibilities of Northern Europe.
